Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Gath glanced around the little ice cream cafe awkwardly, not really sure what to look at. Ever since their heart problems, Gath had been declared semi-retired, and was basically free to do whatever they want. So Gath had been using their free time to do most of the in-person planning of their wedding. In fact, … Read more
“Hello.” Trimes blinked as they opened the door to their apartment. Ever since the Sudden Darkness, the complications from being touched by Corruption and the loss of most of their left arm, Trimes had been living in an assisted care facility. They had their own private quarters, a bed, small living room and bathroom, but … Read more
“So anyway, what do you-” Levik stopped mid sentence as he felt something vibrating. He blinked a few times before realising that it was his phone ringing, and he stopped everything he was doing to answer it, ignoring the confusion of his gladiator friends. “Relkir! It’s been ages! How are you? Can I put you … Read more
“Dada Relkir, are you busy?” Relkir looked up from their tablet. They were currently sitting on the sofa, browsing through an armour catalogue, trying to pick out an armour style and an armour colour for their wedding. Normally, Rethans wore a colour based on the combined colour of the two poten-partners’ plating, but in Relkir … Read more
“A word, please, Relkir.” Relkir tried to hide that they were caught off guard as a heavy hand landed on their shoulder. They had just finished a meeting between the Rethan government and the Spast leadership regarding information on the attempted assassination on the High General not too long ago and Relkir thought the meeting … Read more
As Rethavok were prone to going into a feral defensive rage over their threatened kids, as Rethan society began to grow, most Rethans started raising their kids in large nurseries, in order to better protect their babies and also not become adrenaline-fuelled monsters at the sight of their kids being accidentally hurt, especially as some … Read more
“Hello, Kyr Rethais…” The High General was busy looking out of the gigantic window of the Grand Hall, overlooking their almost perfect city. Rethais didn’t have any work to do, but they did have one last meeting, a social one, before they planned to head home. The voice behind them was expected but oddly timid. … Read more
“Kyr Elkay! Kyr Elkay! I have news!” Litvir knew they probably didn’t need to shout, that knocking on the door of the God of Shadow and Knowledge’s office was enough, but Litvir was excited and desperate to share the news. They bounced up and down excitedly, waiting for Elkay to let them in. Eventually, the … Read more
Being a General of a powerful but also small and ceremonial Legion meant that Gath could often take time off whenever they liked, doubly so since they had been ill and delegating duties to their captains already. For Relkir though, things were a bit trickier. It turned out the Legion of Advisors really needed more … Read more
Something beeped. Relkir’s eyes flicked open. They yawned, stretched, then rolled over to one side, to the small table by the side of the bed. Relkir’s communicator was the source of the beep. Getting beeps in the middle of the night wasn’t that uncommon, Relkir was an important Rethan with a vital job, but it … Read more
Relkir sighed to themselves as they stared at the package on their desk. Outside Relkir’s office, the 99th Legion had all just been given their first set of uniform armour, and the boxes at the back of the room contained enough armour for each member of the Legion for a week. Relkir had watched them … Read more
“Mama!” Litvir was in a very bouncy mood today. To the point that they leaped up at Gath and hugged them tightly before even entering the house. “Hello, kiddo!” Gath patted Litvir on the back in a bid to calm them down. “How are you today?” “Mama, I am in a very good mood today! … Read more
Ever since their heart problem, Gath had barely been working. They worked three days in the office at the Kentron, and one day in their home office. The other three days were spent at home, relaxing, or doing gentle exercises or going on walks, to keep themselves healthy and active. Today though was a day … Read more
The public pool at the Phos Public Exercise Centre was very rarely busy. Most Rethans didn’t like swimming, and a lot of them massively struggled in deeper waters. But Relkir had been insistent that Gath do some swimming exercises, because it was a simple, gentle exercise that wouldn’t stress Gath out too much. At least, … Read more
Gath’s chest still hurt, in fact, most of Gath’s body hurt, but at least they were still alive. Just about. Gath wasn’t quite sure, and it didn’t help that they had heard some scary words, things like “they need oxygen” and “life support on its way”, things like that. Now Gath was awake though, they … Read more
